Supreme Court Rules Theft LegalBy Lowell Scott As nations go, America is a cocky adolescent complete with a somewhat damaged sense of vulnerability, a bright future glistening with potential, and clearly much to learn. The genius of our country's forefathers is evidenced in the political framework they fashioned encouraging our societal growth and maturation. They understood that men are by nature sinners, and that power corrupts, but they would be horrified to learn that five of the nine justices seated on the highest court of law in the land would legalize the theft of one person's...

Supreme Court Rulings Place Americans on NoticeBy Pastor Steve Holley It used to be that the month of June was consumed with events that breathed life into the spirit of America. Children celebrating the close of the school year, the "pomp and circumstance" of high school and college graduations, the splendor and beauty of weekend weddings, and the anticipation of summer vacations were just a few of the activities that brought joy to the month of June.

His disgust turns to alarm, however, when a straggler appears and begins to empty a large drum of what looks and smells like raw sewage into the water. He stares in disbelief as the rabble splash about in the...

A Similar Apology is Long Overdue from a GroupEven More Responsible than the U. S. Senate On Monday, June 13, 2005, the U. S. Senate approved a resolution (S.Res.39) apologizing to the families of lynching victims for never passing a federal anti-lynching law.
